Lenovo NetVista 6794 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. A video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
Some clues the video card is in dire straights
- The graphics on your screen produces weird colors or images
- The Lenovo NetVista 6794 reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to turn on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing correctly
